Lula Pushes Fossil Fuel 'Roadmap' Back to Center of COP30
Brazil’s roadmap to phase out fossil fuels faces opposition from oil producers and funding disputes, while negotiators push to finalize agreements before COP30 ends.
- On Wednesday, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva put the fossil-fuel 'roadmap' back atop UN climate talks after Brazil, COP30 host, released a draft pact on Tuesday and pressed overnight negotiators.
- Earlier this month, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva first proposed the 'roadmap' away from oil, coal and gas, framing the summit's tone amid support from more than 80 countries and opposition from oil-producing countries.
- Last year's COP29 pledge of $300 billion a year remains a flashpoint as developing countries pressed for operationalization while the EU opposed larger payouts, and delegates on two cruise ships must vacate by Saturday before COP30 ends Friday.
- A new draft text is expected to be published on Wednesday as Lula signalled willingness to compromise, but officials warned much work remains on fossil fuels, trade, and climate finance.
- Scientists warn that delayed transition from fossil fuels risks disastrous ecosystem changes hitting vulnerable poor countries hardest, while Lula met United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and key figures seeking a deal amid the absence of the United States.
